Description
- Frans Snyders
- a Still Life with pears, grapes and apricots in a basket and a watermelon on a stone ledge
- oil on canvas
Condition
The painting has recently been cleaned, relined and restored. The lining is a little rigid but sound. On the whole the paint surface is quite well preserved. The background, the ledge and the shadows of the basket have been washed over and strengthened but restoration is otherwise limited to only local spot retouchings. The varnish is clear and even and the picture should not require any further attention.
This lot is offered with an ebonised wood frame with gilt sight edge in good condition.
